If debris from a tree located in a government-owned space (such as a sidewalk, public school, or government property) falls in your yard, it is the city’s or state government’s responsibility to have the debris cleaned up. On the other hand, most states only hold a neighbor liable for cleaning up their tree’s debris if they were negligent in caring for the tree.

Yes, most services include basic site cleanup and proper disposal of debris, which may include hazardous materials. It is always best to confirm the specifics with your provider.

You can’t typically leave your grill on the curb for your regular trash pickup. Most waste removal services will require that you schedule a special bulk pickup or dispose of your grill another way due to its large size and weight. Otherwise, you may receive a fine for leaving your grill out. Scheduling a bulky item pickup helps waste management workers prepare properly for a larger item like a grill.

The most common alternative is burning the stump first, then dealing with the cinders and ashes.
